In the hidden village of Palea Rumata is a very old olive tree - still fruiting every year. Old? Ancient!
At its widest it has a diameter or 4.3 metres and a perimeter of 10.5 metres
It is believed to be around 3000 year old
It's hollow middle has been used for hiding weapons in the wars agains both the Turks and the Germans
It was also used as a meeting place for the local resistance during WW2
The figure gives you an idea of the size of the tree
sunflowers growing in the village
Ripening blackberries
Wander up into the pretty village where you will find a kafenion and a library founded in 1944
